Monsoon has launched a new collaboration with Queens of Archive, bringing the celebrity-favourite vintage-inspired brand to the high street just in time for party season. The collection is rich with velvets, embellishments, brocade and sequins, with dresses, blouses, knits and coats starting from £75.
A Joyful Collaboration
Nicola Orme, Queens of Archive's creative director, said: "The collaboration has been such a joyful experience. Combining the DNA of both brands: an appreciation for craftsmanship, storytelling and clothes that are special enough to treasure as heirlooms. Signature Queens of Archive details meet the rich prints, romantic sensibility and global influences synonymous with Monsoon, creating a collection designed to inspire dressing up at every age."
The collaboration also includes matching styles for children, described as the chic equivalent of Christmas family pyjamas.
